Handmade jewelry with natural stones and Murano glass in the Department Store

Visitors can purchase souvenirs, sweets, accessories, and many other products from different regions of the country at the Department Store. For example, unique jewelry from the brands Murano Ocean and Moments of the Sea, as well as pieces with natural stones from the workshop of Yevgeniya Sereda.

More than 10 years ago, Kristina Kleptsova from Vladivostok saw an artisan crafting jewelry by melting glass directly in an open flame. She was so inspired by the process that she decided to master the ancient technique of Murano glassmaking — a type of glass that is dense yet clear and transparent, with a smooth surface. This material is perfect for creating jewelry, which led to the birth of the Murano Ocean brand, inspired by the beauty of the Primorye region.

Magical jewelry crafted in flames is available at the Department Store. Visitors to the National Centre RUSSIA can purchase pendants, earrings, bracelets, and brooches. Every piece from the brand is unique, as each bead and glass detail is handcrafted without the use of molds.

The Krasnoyarsk workshop Moments of the Sea is another remarkable designer brand featured in the Department Store. Its creator, ceramic artist Valeria Shurulya, specializes in crafting porcelain jewelry in the shape of fairy-tale animals, birds, flowers, and plants. Each piece is sculpted, refined, and hand-painted, making it truly one of a kind.

During production, the jewelry is decorated using underglaze paints, as well as special liquid gold and platinum compounds. The pieces then undergo three lengthy firings in a muffle kiln, one of which takes place at temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Celsius. This is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, but it results in durable yet delicate jewelry with a beautiful glossy sheen.

The Department Store also features jewelry with natural stones by artisan Yevgeniya Sereda. It is no secret that natural materials help create jewelry with a special energy, turning them into true talismans. Moreover, it is believed that carefully selected stones can attract luck and prosperity.

The assortment of this Lipetsk-based brand includes pieces made from rose quartz, Ural jasper, hematite, garnet, amethyst, agate, and other minerals, as well as cubic zirconia and pearls. Additionally, the artisan uses wooden fittings and hypoallergenic alloys, making her creations both safe and durable.

Please note that the Department Store space on the second floor of National Centre RUSSIA is temporarily closed for renovation. However, visitors can still purchase folk crafts, accessories, cosmetics, and treats at another Department Store location. It remains open on the first floor, near the concert hall.
